The NH had to take a less than full width cut as bit what was left was too wide for him and if he had taken full width the bit left would have been to close to row of straw so would have to have taken full row of straw in for 2nd time and putting straw though again is not fun ,ask me how i know i am a combine driver and a row of straw going in 2nd time is a nightmare , the Claas took half width cut at end of video
